Chapter 3
By:Tomatopiranha
Writers note: Yo people, sorry for the long update :( School sucks, especially at the end of the semester. So yeah, read and comment. Also, I need help deciding on Rebecca's bankai, message me or just put it in reviews if ya got any suggestions :) thx!
"What? That is just ridiculous, there is no way that a mear human can become a captain. Especially only after a month of training!" Byakuya said slightly annoyed.
"I don't see how it's possible either" said captain commander. "It may be
that Urahara is over exaggerating, that is why I want you to go to the real world for me Byakuya. Please go and see just how good that girl is and report it to me. It is very important, which is why I am asking you to do this."
"Yes sir, but why is Kira coming with me? He is not even in my squad".
"That is because if she would become a captain, it would be for his squad, and he would be the vice captain. Now, you will be leaving tomorrow. Please go inform vice captain Kira and get ready" said the captain commander.
"Yes sir" Byakuya replied.
Once Byakuya left he went to the third squad and informed Kira about the trip to the living world the next day.
"A new captain?"
"Yes Kira, apparently she is a new prodigy of the sort, although she just became a shinigami less than a month ago."
"Huh? How is that possible? There is so much to learn about things here in soul society, she can't just come in without knowing anything right?"
"Yes, although apparently Urahara said that she currently learned all of the kido skills and mastered them easily and she knows all about soul society and how it runs (thanks to his special learning machine). Also he said that she is extremely skilled, and by the time we come, she will have mastered bankai."
"Wow, that seems... almost impossible" Kira said.
"Yes, well that is why captain commander is sending you and me to the real world, so that we can really see how she's like" Byakuya replied.
"Okay, well I will go tell my squad that I will be leaving tomorrow. Thank you for informing me captain Kuchki"
"It's no problem. Be ready in the morning to leave"
"Yes sir" said Kira leaving to go tell his squad of his upcoming absence.
Once Kira told his squad, everyone was shocked to hear that they might be getting a new captain.
"A new captain?" everybody was wondering as they were still a little nerved from the incident with Amagai as it had only happened about 2 months back.
"Well, we'll see. That's why I am going to the living world. While i'm gone please don't do anything crazy, I will be back before you know it" Kira said to his squad.
"Yes vice captain Kira" they all replied.
THE NEXT DAY
Kira and Byakuya were both standing in front of the gate to the living world early the next morning.
"Ready to go?" asked Byakuya as the doors opened.
"Yes sir, this is my first time in the real world. I'm excited to go actually." Kira said.
"Remember, we are going for a reason, not to have fun"
"Yes, I know sir" Kira said as they walked into the large gate.
"Ahh, I'm glad we're finally outta that place! That took forever." Kira said as the two of them reached the real world.
"Indeed, that did seem very long" agreed Byakuya.
Kira sneezed from suddenly appearing into the strong sun light.
"Gazutite" Byakuya said.
"Thanks. This is the place where we're supposed to go right?" Kira asked pointing to Urahara's shop.
"Yes, this is where they are supposed to be" Byakuya said walking up to the store.
Tessai walked out of the shop to greet the two shinigami.
"Hello, you two must be here to interview Rebecca" he said.
"(Hmm, Rebecca. So that's her name. That's a cute name, not Japanese of course)" Kira thought to himself. "Yes, we are here to see her."
"Then please come inside, she is currently training with Urahara" Tessai told the two. "They will be finished soon."
"If you don't mind, can we look in on the training for a moment?" asked Byakuya.
"Of course" Tessai replied while leading the other two down a door in the floor.
Once they climbed down the long ladder and entered the large training grounds, they saw Rebecca and Urahara training very intensely.
"Shit" she said dodging an attack from Urahara.
It seemed that Rebecca was in four places at the same time because she was going at super high speeds.
"How is she in four places at once?" Byakuya asked Tessai. "Does her zambaktou have duplicating powers?" he asked.
"No" he replied. "She's actually doing that on her own, no help from her sword. And it is not duplication, she's just going extremely fast. Also, her zambaktou is a short sword, it's about a half foot longer than a normal kitchen knife, it's very odd for one
that is not in shikai form."
"Well does that mean that she has weak spirit force? A shinigami's sword is as long as their spirit force." Byakuya asked.
"Not in the least, she has immense reiatsu (spirit force), but it is condensed into a sword that suits her style of fighting better" Tessai replied.
"Wow, impressive." Byakuya said.
Just as Rebecca was going to make a move, Urahara noticed the two visiting shinigami.
"Oh, you're here" Urahara said. "Let's finish this later Rebecca, you have visitors."
"Visitors?" she asked while putting her weapon back.
Urahara and Rebecca walked over to the two shinigami who came to see her.
Once Rebecca walked up to them, she noticed Kira.
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "
The two of them stared at each other for a moment.
"Awesome hair!" Rebecca and Kira both said to each other smiling. As the two of them both had bright blonde bangs completely covering their left eyes.
"So, what did you two want to talk to me about?" asked Rebecca.
"We came to see if you are qualified for the placement of a captain" Byakuya said.
"Oh, well then what do I have to show you guys?"
"Well first of all, have you mastered the kido spells and such?" asked Byakuya.
"Yes, I have." she replied.
"Why don't we finish this chat upstairs?" asked Urahara.
"Yes, lets" Byakuya agreed.
"I'll go make some tea!" said Rebecca. "Tessai taught me how to yesterday. Is that okay Urahara?" she asked wanting to show off her new accomplishment in the Japanese culture.
"Sure, that's fine with me" Urahara said.
"Awesome!" she said and was gone.
"She's gone." said Kira.
"Yes, she's faster than you think. While we training earlier, she was only going a fraction of what speed she is capable of. She uses a technique that was not ever named, as it was only used by one other person in a myth. She tried naming it before, but the name she gave it sucked, so she ended up just calling it lightning step."
"Wow, and that's on her own power right? No help from anything else?"
"Yepp, and she can do it for ages too, she said it's just like walking to her."
"Cool, so she wouldn't get tired from doing it for a while like the rest of us would."
"You bet" replied Urahara.
"Hmm, that girl is really something else" Byakuya commented. "I wonder how Sui Fong will take the fact that's she is no longer fastest shinigami in soul society."
After everyone had gone upstairs and sat at the small table in the little room, Rebecca brought out tea for everyone.
"Here you go! I hope you all like it, it was my first time making tea by myself!" Rebecca said proud of herself.
Everybody took a sip of the tea that had been made for them, and the room came to a silence.
"Umm, is it ok?" she asked. "It probably aint that good since i'm not very good at cooking."
"No, no." said Kira trying to force a smile as the tea was absolutely appalling. "(Damn, what the hell did this girl do to the tea? How hard is it to make tea?)" he thought to himself.
"Well, apart from this matter. Rebecca may I please ask you a few questions?" asked Byakuya.
"Oh, sure. That's what you came here for right? Ask away."
"For starters, are you going to be permanently staying in soul society instead of the living world?"
"Yes, that's right".
"Okay, do you know all about soul society? Like it's rules and such?"
"Yeah, I know all about soul society, mostly thanks to that contraption of Urahara's".
"One more question, have you obtained and mastered your shikai and your bankai?"
"Yes, actually I just obtained bankai yesterday, so today me and Urahara were taking it light on training."
"(It looked like she was training harshly too me, I wonder what normal training is like for her?)" Byakuya thought. "Well then, if you don't mind would you please show me them?"
"Sure, lets go back down to the training place" she said.
"Yes, lets" Byakuya said finishing off the tea so that Rebecca would see.
"(Heh, he liked my tea! It must have been pretty good if an elite guy like him finished it off)" she thought while smiling to herself.
"(Ugh, I hope she saw me finish my tea. That was the foulest thing I have ever tasted in my whole existence. I was just trying to be nice since no one else drank any of theirs accept for the first sip. As a reminder to myself, never let that girl cook again.)" Byakuya thought to himself trying to forget the awful taste in his mouth.
So everyone went down to the training area to see Rebecca's shikai and bankai. Her shikai was a weapon that was similar to Sui Fong's of the second squad. It wrapped around her whole arm, and pointed at her finger tips, completely covering her whole
hand. Its name was Sugoni Kursu and it was said to be the most elite close distance weapon. And her bankai amazed them even more beyond belief (which will be later mentioned in another chapter).
"Amazing, and you learned this in under a month?" asked Kira amazed.
"Yepp! Though it was the hardest thing that has ever happened to me, but it's finally done!" she said smiling.
"Well, we have all of the information we need, we will be heading back to soul society soon. And Rebecca, you have done more than I had ever thought you were capable of. You were not a bratty teenager as I had first thought of you to be." said Byakuya impressed.
"Tha... Hey! What made you thought that I was a bratty teenager in the first place?" asked Rebecca very loudly.
"Well first of all, you're trying to take up the whole new 'western look' like all the hipsters are doing nowadays" he replied.
"What the hell! I am western, stupid! I'm not from Japan! I moved here about a year ago from America!" she exclaimed. "Anyways, who says hipsters anymore?"
"Now then, is that any way to talk to your elders?" he asked while slightly smirking as Rebecca got so easily angered.
"(Oh my god! Did Captain Kuchki just smirk! NEVER have i seen that! He either be having a good time or we must have been staying here too long and it's starting to get to him)" Kira thought.
Rebecca stuttered as she was annoyed at the long haired shinigami. "Whatever!" she said. "Oh, and by the way Byakuya (calling him by his first name already) if I become a captain, what one would I be?" she asked as if nothing had ever happened just a moment ago.
"Almost no doubt about it Rebecca, you are definitely going to become a captain. And you will become captain of third squad, Kira here will be your vice captain as he already was for the former captain" Byakuya explained.
"Really? Cool! I didn't know that you were a vice!" she said (she already knew about Byakuya because of Urahara talking about him).
"Yeah, also it's sort of funny since we both have the same style bangs" Kira said. "We'll be matching captain and vice captain."
"Yeah! Oh and by the way, can you bring things from the real world into soul society?"
"Yes" answered Byakuya.
"Why, what do you plan on taking?" asked Kira as he was curious.
"My iphone!" she said while pulling it out of her pocket.
"Why did I not guess that?" asked Urahara as since Rebecca was staying at the store, he saw her on that thing almost all the time.
"Wow, that's pretty cool compared to our phones don't you think captain Kuchki?" Kira asked looking at the iphone.
"Indeed. Now then, We should get back and give our report to captain commander, Kira" Byakuya said.
"Oh, yes sir".
"Wait, before you leave. How will I know when I am accepted as a captain? And do I have to take a test
or anything?" asked Rebecca.
"Yes, there is a test, but from what you have told us and shown us, you have already completed all of the things needed. And Urahara will tell you when we call. Once we tell captain commander that we want you to take the test, people will open a gate for
you to enter soul society. You will take your test there, and then stay there. So bring whatever you must" Byakuya explained.
"Okay, got it!"
"Now then" he said while he opened a personal gate back to soul society.
"Cya Byakuya, cya most likely vice captain Kira" Rebecca said.
The two of them left back to soul society to go tell captain commander that Rebecca had outstood their expectations.
"Now then. Hey Urahara, can I try and make lunch? Byakuya seemed to like my tea, so maybe ima better
cook then I thought!" Rebecca said.
"It's alright Rebecca, TESSAI said he would make lunch for us today. RIGHT Tessai?" Urahara said desperately.
"Yes! I was going to make lunch!" he replied as he would much rather cook then have to eat her cooking.
"Oh, okay then" she said pulling out her iphone.
"(Phew, that was a close one)" they both thought as she started a new video game.
